Histograms of B − R colors from selected
HR(α) ranges:
a) all the 253 objects. Taken globally do not exhibit statistical
evidence for bimodality, which was known to exist among Centaurs. b) The
124 “small” objects, with .
Evidence for bimodal behavior is clear and still present when removing Centaurs.
c) The 38 “large” objects, with
.
A bimodal behavior is shown but it loses the statistical significance without the
“Haumea collisional family” objects. d) The 91 “intermediate” size
objects,
6.8 > HR(α) > 5.0.
Regardless of the apparent small gap at
B − R ~ 1.3 there is no statistical evidence
for two separate groups.
